“Super Generation”

Hey, Tokio

Take me out, into the sparkling city

Hey, the generation never stops

It races on, into a new love

The hands of the clock starts to move

Let’s go and deliver this feeling

Like a shooting star

Speed up! Step on the accelerator

Become arrows of light, and feel and boggie-woggie

Crossing the bridge of the future and into this new generation

Don’t let go of my hand

Hey, Tokio

Take me out, onto the sparkling city

Wake up, the young flames are burning all over the world

New generation together

Speed up! Step on the accelerator

Become arrows of light, and feel the boggie-woggie

Crossing the bridge of future and into this new generation

Don’ let go of my hand

Excitement is always hidden in my heart

Sometimes I’m fed up with it

Sometimes I feel anxious

My heart is moving, it’s now too late yet

So let’s dance right now, and show this boggie-woggie

Crossing the bridge of the future and into this new generation

Don’t let go of my hand

<LYRICS>

孤独ならFantasy SmoothなBGM 暮れては、夢 鮮やかなシティ・ロースト 僕たちはAlien この街の列車は冷たく走るから すぐに着けるはずさ 君の惑星へ 超絶キスしよう 何回だってしよう なんて慎ましいんだ僕らは! ほんのちょっとSweetで ほんのちょっとSpecialな夜を 君と過ごせたら 無軌道なFalling leaves 見上げればCan you see? 微睡む、空 こんな日はシティ・ロースト 色づくはLast phrase あの雲を抜けるにはしばらくかかるから 約束をしようか 次の惑星で 超絶キスしよう 何回だってしよう なんて慎ましいんだ僕らは! ほんのちょっとBitterな こころについた傷を 隠し通して 超絶キスしよう 何万回もしよう なんて慎ましいんだ僕らは! ほんのちょっとSweetで ほんのちょっとSpecialな夜を 君と過ごせたら

<LYRICS/English ver.>

Loneliness is a fantasy Oh the smooth bgms All but a dream, when it sets The freshness of the city roast We’re just a pair of aliens The city trains that we’re supposed to use, runs coldly like it doesn’t care We will reach our destination, Your planet, in no time Let’s kiss like never before Once, no, more and more Can’t believe how modest we can be at times! Just a little bit sweet, and Just a little bit special night with you If only we were meant to be The orbit-less falling leaves Look up, now can’t you see? The slumbering sky above Perfect day for a city roast Brings colour to the last phrase We have quite some time upon our hands, until we burrow through those layers of clouds Let us make a little promise, eh? On the next planet Let’s kiss like never before Once, no, more and more Can’t believe how modest we can be at times! Just a little bit bitter wound We have right there just underneath, yeah Keep them hidden up inside Let’s kiss like never before Once, no, more and more Can’t believe how modest we can be at times! Just a little bit sweet, and Just a little bit special night with you If only we were meant to be

Running Gulf Coast Road Turn through

Another dimension that sucks in both crying and sweet voices

Beyond the light Get arrive now

The song that flows is always

Running Gulf Coast Road Turn through

Catching up with the stars

Flowing mega-city so turn away

Get up to highway

[Interlude]

Soul fog at dawn

I wanna keep on to be running

Crying face, angry face, crumbling Sequential time

Past future now Getting blurry all

The song that flows is always

Metal position now Turn on

Gulf Coast Highway Turn through

Catching up with the stars

“Pardon”

One morning, you were gone.

A letter left behind, not the way things are nowadays

I made a pot of tea for the time being

A faint scent of green yerba mate

If this is what you call being in love

I’m a little too late.

Pardon, the wave that’s quietly coming in

Pardon, the tears that are still coming in

At dawn, I look for long sleeves

Tired of looking at the needle that moves forward on tiktok

Pardon, measuring coffee beans for one

freshly ground, fragrant Tanzania

if you call it a love affair

a little too familiar

Pardon, coffee to sip even when cold

Pardon, for being there for me

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, always

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Always.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, ever and ever.

Pardon, the waves that come in secret

Pardon, Tears now, tears now…

Pardon, The Secret Wave

Pardon, the tears that come pouring in now

Lalala…

Pardon me…

Lyrics:

 

“As if I were on the beach” Passing through That is my hometown Here is the nova There is no doubt There is something to eat The telephone connects That’s so easy But I’m kinda lonely I’ll behave I’ll work properly I don’t get twisted but I can see no future I feel as if I were on the beach Get sick A short time weakness I like to be controlled I’m so happy Spoiled by people Losing energy from the shoulder I wish I could dream a rich dream like a child As much as possible I’ll live with a life-sized mind I don’t wanna see my future anymore I feel as if I were on the beach I feel as if I were on the beach

 

 

– – – – 海にいる 通過していく あれは故郷 ここが新星 間違いない 食べるものがある 電話が繋がる 何てことはなく 寂しいね 行儀よくするよ 働きもする ひねくれない けど先が見えない まるで海だ 海にいる 体調を崩す 束の間の弱み 握られてたい 幸せだ 人に甘えて 肩から腑抜けて 子どもみたいに豊かな夢を見れたなら できる限りは 等身大の気持ちで生きる もう先が見たくない まるで海だ 海にいる まるで海だ 海にいる!

Ayori Narita 成田あより

Singer-songwriter

Member of Plusonica ぷらそにか, a unit of singer-songwriters

Has written over 150 original songs

Writes, arranges, records, mixes, and even illustrates own CD jackets

 

 

It was about two years ago that I wrote this song.

My daily life had changed, the live concerts I had been looking forward to were constantly being cancelled or postponed, and my timeline was filled with notices of closure of live music venues I had heard so many times, but I was sure that that place would be okay.

After I was informed that the place that gave me so many encounters, joyful and sometimes frustrating moments that I never want to forget would be closing, I didn’t spend a sleepless night, but rather woke up in the morning and went about my day as usual.

They say that time will solve sad and painful things, and the pain I feel for you will fade away with time, and one day I will forget about it and live my life with a normal face as if nothing happened. I put these feelings, which are difficult to express in one word, into the song “The Needle Moves Forward”.

I hope this song will be a trigger for people to remember their precious feelings, and I hope it will be a song that can be close to the gap in someone’s heart.
